How can I make a monitor extending a computer dark and "at rest" without needing to worry about burn in? (lemmy.world)

Not sure if its a neurodivergent thing but I often want to "turn off" or completely darken the monitor without actually pulling the power.

catch { dont want to just do sound and the tv is left to its boilerplate/ad-dled idle nonsense }

I like how on certain devices if you have low power mode on and you AirPlay, it goes completely dark after a moment, I'd like to something like that but for computer. Sort of like a non-screensaver screensaver that doest lock or anything but lets me recreate when TVs used to let you turn of the display

Not sure if I understand you, but most modern OSes switch off the monitor after a few minutes of idling.
